LAVKA – Middle Eastern
Part cafe, part Eastern European pantry, Lavka sits on SW 1st Court in Brickell and opens early. Breakfast is the draw: eggs cooked to order, avocado toast with guacamole and tomato, and the kind of homemade dishes that taste like somebody's family recipe. Later there is Neapolitan-style pizza and a menu that wanders happily between Italian, Ukrainian and Russian. The attached mini market carries handpicked European products, which is why regulars leave with a bag as well as a bill. Warm, unfussy, and a rare thing in Brickell. A neighbourhood spot with a passport.
